PharmacyGrowth from PrescribeWellness Drives Business Results for
Community Pharmacies

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PrescribeWellness,
the cloud-based services company whose mission is to inspire
collaboration for better health, today announced new business results
being driven by its PharmacyGrowth solution. PharmacyGrowth is part of
the PrescribeWellness suite of patient engagement tools that provide
community pharmacies with the industry’s most effective solutions to
increase adherence, loyalty and Star Ratings.

PharmacyGrowth was developed to help pharmacies deliver the personalized
service of old in the new age. High tech and high touch, PharmacyGrowth
drives the ability to build a deeper, stronger relationship with
patients that could once be accomplished without technology. The service
is much more than a refill reminder call or a birthday wish. It is an
entire series of timely, relevant communications automatically delivered
in text, email, and voice. The voice of the pharmacist they know
and trust builds loyalty, adherence and the delivery of other gaps in
care.

Lack of medication adherence remains one of America’s most pressing
health issues costing over $300 billion. PharmacyGrowth technology
enables community pharmacies to assume a critical new role as
“connective tissue” in patient healthcare. These personal connections
facilitate better performance on Stars Ratings, as well as medication
adherence and patient loyalty, and, according to a report from the
National Community Pharmacists Association1, a personal
connection with a pharmacist or pharmacy staff is the number one
predictor of medication adherence by patients.

As a key element of the overall PrescribeWellness solution – implemented
at more than 10,000 community pharmacies nationwide – PharmacyGrowth
leverages the latest in data analytics and machine learning to deliver
the right message at the right time to each individual without
interrupting pharmacy workflow. These communications empower patients to
take control of their health by managing their medications and
addressing other healthcare needs through their community pharmacy.
Personalized service and communication are key differentiators for
community pharmacies in today’s competitive retail environment, and new
internal data from PrescribeWellness points to specific results via
PharmacyGrowth, such as:

Increased Prescription Volume – annual prescription volume was
eight times the national average for community pharmacies in 2016

More Satisfied Patients – online customer review ratings for
pharmacies that use PharmacyGrowth average 15 percent higher than
those that do not

From a single screen in the Patient Engagement Center, PharmacyGrowth
helps pharmacy personnel understand which patients are impacting Star
ratings and helps pharmacies reduce DIR or other financial penalties
associated with lack of adherence. This ability to identify
opportunities and automate an action plan means that PrescribeWellness
technology also empowers community pharmacies to serve more people with
a high standard of one-to-one care.

“As a patient-centric pharmacy, you need tools to help you identify and
support all of a patient’s health care needs, and our new data shows
that PharmacyGrowth is a powerful and effective tool for community
pharmacies to communicate and engage with their patients,” observed
Perry Reed, Patient Communications Manager of PrescribeWellness. “Not
only does it help patients stay compliant and on their medications for
better health, but it also drives refills, prescription volume, loyalty
and repeat business.”
